Performance

A great show as per the norm for Rotterdam 1990, featuring the typical Lovetown setlist rotation that gives us a new set of songs when compared to the previous show, along with another strong outing from the band and Bono as a whole, who delivers another fantastic performance featuring strong performances. However, when compared to the first night, it's noticeable that while this show is still very good, it is a step down from the awesomeness the first night brought, with more mistakes present from both the band and Bono. These include lyrical stumbles and even mistakes from Edge, who has guitar issues during Desire, which results in a messier performance overall.

Sound

Similar recording to that of the previous night, with Mvdv getting another fantastic capture.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4.5 stars

Audience

Fantastic Dutch audience, as typical for this run.

Overall

Overall, while being a mostly fantastic performance as usual for a show featured in one of the elite runs on the Lovetown tour featuring mostly excellent performances from both the band and Bono, this is probably my least favourite show out of all four Rotterdam '90s solely for the fact that it isn't as tight or features the same level of highs present at the shows surrounding it. While this show as a whole is still very good and is an improvement when compared to stuff such as Amsterdam and has some notable highlights such as the final Unforgettable Fire until 2009 and a performance of She's a Mystery to Me along with some strong renditions of songs in places I'd still take the other three shows over this one.

Highlights: Where the Streets Have No Name, I Will Follow, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, The Unforgettable Fire, All I Want Is You, Running to Stand Still, and She's a Mystery to Me.
